Anchor Ltd paid $15,000 last quarter for a feasibility study regarding the demand for motorboat replacement parts which would require the purchase of a new metal-shaping machine. Today, they wish to conduct an analysis of the proposed project.

The machine costs $250,000 and will operate for five years and tax rules allow the machine to be depreciated to zero over a five-year life. The machine is expected to produce sales of $135,000 annually for the five years. Anchor has already agreed to sell the machine in five years’ time to an unrelated firm for $80,000.

The project will result in a $35,000 increase in accounts receivable and require an increase in inventory levels by $20,000 to $95,000. Anchor has negotiated with its bank to borrow $180,000 to help pay for the project. Loan repayments are $48,000 each year for five years.

If Anchor buys the machine they will be able to use some equipment that they currently own. This is part of the driving force in the decision-making process because it allows the company to save cash and not pay for new equipment. The after-tax value of the equipment today is $44,100. This machinery has been written off for tax purposes and would be worthless in five years’ time.

What are the relevant cash flows for each year of the new machine’s life? Assume the company tax rate is 30%.
